Werther's Original Caramel Popcorn Cupcake

These little pieces of heaven are so decedent and rich, almost to good to eat, almost! lol  They have such a unique flavor and presentation as well with there gold and silver wrappers. I tried to mimic the look of the Werther's original creme caramel wrappers and my instincts was rite i love the way they turned out. When i was creating this cupcake i knew i wanted a batter that would stand up to the goodness and creaminess of the Werther's caramel so i choose a yellow cake batter that wasn't so sweet so it will compliment the caramel popcorn and Werther's quite well. Hope you guys enjoy them. This recipe was created and dedicated to one of my loyal follower on instagram =) @th3r3lm Thanks and continue the support. I'm opened to any recipe request i will try my best to create easy and delicious recipes for you guys.

{For the topping}

• crunch n' munch caramel popcorn 
• werther's caramel melted 

I decided to use a store bought caramel corn but you can make these completely from scratch by making  the caramel popcorn home made its very easy to make. I used the brand crunch n' munch  but there are a lot of different varieties out there for you. Just popped them on top of the frosted cupcakes and top with werther's caramel and your done. Ready to eat! NOTE: melt the caramel in the microwave in a heat proof bowl for about 15 minutes.
